Rihanna and A$AP Rocky Race Against Time for Major Pre-Birth Task: A Lavish Baby Shower Extravaganza!
In a whirlwind of glitz, glamour, and growing anticipation, Rihanna and A$AP Rocky are pulling out all the stops as they prepare to welcome their third child. The power couple, already parents to sons RZA, 3, and Riot Rose, 21 months, was spotted in Los Angeles on September 3, 2025, with Rihanna proudly flaunting her baby bump in unbuttoned baggy jeans and a cropped striped T-shirt. But behind the casual outing lies a major task that had A$AP Rocky clearing his jam-packed schedule to ensure everything was perfect for his pregnant queen: orchestrating an ultra-lavish baby shower to celebrate their soon-to-be newest family member.
Sources close to the couple reveal that the major task was no small feat—a meticulously planned, star-studded baby shower that insiders are calling “the event of the year.” Rihanna, 37, and A$AP Rocky, 36, have been working tirelessly to ensure every detail of this celebration reflects their signature style and love for their growing family. “This isn’t just a baby shower; it’s a Rihanna and Rocky production,” an insider spilled. “They wanted it to be a moment that screams their vibe—bold, luxurious, and unforgettable.”
The “Take a Bow” singer, known for her headline-making pregnancy reveals, first announced her third pregnancy at the 2025 Met Gala in May, where she debuted her baby bump in a stunning Marc Jacobs pinstripe ensemble. A$AP Rocky, a co-chair of the event, couldn’t contain his excitement, telling reporters, “It feels amazing, you know. It’s time that we show the people what we was cooking up”. Since then, the couple has been in full nesting mode, with the baby shower being the ultimate pre-birth milestone they refused to overlook.
So, what made this baby shower such a critical task? According to sources, Rihanna and Rocky envisioned an event that would not only celebrate their third child but also serve as a love letter to their family and fans. Held at a private Beverly Hills estate, the shower was a blend of high fashion, A-list guests, and heartfelt moments. “Rocky was hands-on with every detail,” a source shared. “He even picked out Rihanna’s outfit—a custom Savage X Fenty gown that hugged her bump perfectly while keeping her iconic edge.” The gown, described as a sheer, crystal-embellished number in soft lavender, was paired with diamond-encrusted heels and a sleek updo, ensuring Rihanna shined as the belle of the ball.
The guest list read like a who’s who of Hollywood, with close pals like Ciara, Pharrell Williams, and Jay-Z in attendance. Ciara, who reunited with Rihanna at the Met Gala, gushed about the event on Sherri, hinting that the couple was already dreaming of baby number four. The venue was transformed into a dreamy wonderland, with floral installations, gold-accented decor, and a custom dessert bar featuring Rihanna’s favorite treats. A live jazz band serenaded guests, while a photo booth captured candid moments of the couple laughing and cradling Rihanna’s bump.
But the real heart of the event was its personal touches. Rocky, whose real name is Rakim Mayers, curated a playlist that included Wu-Tang Clan hits as a nod to their son RZA’s namesake, alongside Rihanna’s chart-toppers. The couple also unveiled a special gift for their guests: limited-edition Fenty Beauty goodie bags with a new lip gloss shade named “Baby R,” hinting at their tradition of choosing “R” names for their children. “It’s always going to be an ‘R’ name,” Rihanna confirmed to Access Hollywood. “That’s the one thing me and Rocky don’t fight over”.
The shower wasn’t just a party—it was a strategic move to cement their family’s legacy. “Rihanna and Rocky wanted their kids to grow up close in age, so they planned this pregnancy carefully,” a source told People. “They feel so blessed and are so grateful for this next chapter”. The event also served as a moment of triumph after a challenging year, with Rocky’s acquittal in a high-profile firearms trial in February 2025. Rihanna stood by his side throughout, even bringing their sons to the courtroom for support. “This baby shower was their way of saying, ‘We’re stronger than ever,’” the insider added.
Rocky’s dedication to the task was evident in his hands-on approach. “He was calling designers, checking menus, and making sure the vibe was perfect,” the source revealed. “He wanted Rihanna to feel like royalty.” The couple’s chemistry was on full display, with Rocky reportedly giving a heartfelt toast about Rihanna’s strength as a mother and partner. “He said she’s the best thing that ever happened to him, and this baby is their greatest collaboration yet,” a guest shared.
As the due date approaches, Rihanna and Rocky are savoring every moment. “I feel a lot better that I don’t have to suck my stomach in anymore,” Rihanna joked to Access Hollywood at the Met Gala. With the baby shower now a resounding success, the couple is ready to welcome their third child—rumored to be a girl, based on Rocky’s coy comments at the Smurfs premiere in Brussels, where he smiled and said, “It is, man, it is,” when asked if they were expecting a daughter.
For now, Rihanna is taking it easy, enjoying casual outings like her September 3 stroll in Los Angeles, where her laid-back style still screamed Fenty flair. But behind the scenes, she and Rocky are already dreaming big for their family’s future. “They’re talking about baby number four,” Ciara revealed. With their signature blend of love, style, and ambition, Rihanna and A$AP Rocky are proving that their family is their greatest masterpiece yet.
